Pre-E3: GameCube Gets DVD Cases

IGNcube has learned that GameCube titles will ship inside standard DVD-movie cases, as both PS2 and Xbox use. This despite the fact that the actual GameCube disc size is only 8cm in diameter, much smaller than normal movie DVDs.

Probably Nintendo has opted to stick with the regular DVD-case size as it's become somewhat of an industry standard. The cases fit snugly into bookshelves and entertainment centers. Meanwhile, the bigger DVD cases offer Nintendo the ability to include regular sized game booklets.

It is not yet known if the inside functionality of the GameCube DVD-cases will conform to the standard.
